The platform supports multiple chains and token-gated communities, allowing users to join groups based on their crypto holdings. Governed by its community through the SNT (Status Network Token), Status is also developing its own Layer 2 solution, the Status Network, a fast and secure execution layer. The project's core mission is to uphold human rights, free speech, and privacy.
